The ARM11™ MPCore™ multicore processor implements the ARM11 microarchitecture and brings multicore scalability with 1 to 4 cores from a single RTL base, enabling simple system design with a single macro to integrate with up to 4x the performance of a single core. The ARM11 MPCore processor brings efficient coherency using built-in SCU, and supported by a wide range of OS with ARM SMP capability. The processor extends the ARMv6 architecture with PIPT caches, supporting 16KB-64KB L1 caches efficiently.
MPCore supports the powering down of up to 10 core logic and ram blocks independently
4 power domains for each CPU's logic cells
4 power domains for each CPU's caches and RAMS
1 power domain for SCU tag RAMS
1 power domain for remain logic
SCU and private peripherals
Cortex Alternative
The Cortex™-A5 processor is a related follow-on product to the ARM11MPCore. The Cortex-A5 processor offers similar speed to ARM11™ processors, at lower power and smaller die area, with the ARMv7 benefits of NEON™, and TrustZone®, as well as a more advanced AMBA® AXI™ bus. The Cortex-A5 also offers 1-4way SMP scalability, extending on the coherent multi-core architecture of ARM11MPCore. Cutting edge new SoC designs for are starting now based on the ARM Cortex-A9 processor for high performance or the Cortex-A5 processor for low power and area with ARMv7 compatibility, however some SoC designs are still starting with ARM11MPCore processor where cost and minimal risk are important considerations.
